Sean 'Diddy' Combs Is Currently Reading This Book While On Trial
Attending the trial as a court reporter, Hagen took to her Instagram page Thursday to reveal that she 'spoke to Diddy' in the courtroom as he walked in with a book and took his seat with the defense. As he turned around to acknowledge the room, Hagen asked what he was reading, and he proceeded to hold up the tome for the room to see.
'He grabs the book and then he shows it to me then shows it to everyone else,' she shared. 'It was The Magic Of Believing, a book about how to use the power of the mind to tap into reality, to help manifest different thoughts and actions.
'It's like a self-help book that I would read,' she added.
In a follow-up post, Hagen shared her belief that Diddy reading the book, which is properly titled The Magic Of Believing: The Classic Guide To Unlocking The Power of Your Mind, is an indication that he's trying to 'manifest his verdict.'

Since his September 2024 arrest, Combs has been jailed at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, where he'll remain throughout his trial, which officially began in early May. The Bad Boy Records founder has denied all charges against him. If found guilty, he could face 15 years to life in prison.

‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 Episode 3 Recap: Engagement Reveal Ends In Chaos
Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Belly (Lola Tung) in THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY Photo: Erika Doss © ... More AMAZON CONTENT SERVICES LLC Wedding bells are ringing, but not everyone is celebrating. Last week's two-episode Season 3 premiere brought heartbreak, lots of drama and a surprise proposal that left many fans reeling. The next new episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty is now streaming on Prime Video, so here's a full recap of everything that went down. As a quick refresher for what happened last week, Belly is finishing up her junior year at Finch College and preparing for a magical summer in Cousins. Jeremiah is supposed to graduate but can't due to missing credits, meaning he'll have to be a super senior and take classes in the fall. This complicates Belly's plans after she learns she's been accepted into the Paris study abroad program for the fall of her senior year. Belly and Jeremiah's relationship has had its ups and downs over the past four years, but nothing could have prepared viewers for what happened next. At a frat party, Belly overhears a girl named Lacie claiming she hooked up with Jair in Cabo during Spring Break. Technically, Belly and Jair were on a break at the time after an argument — but they got back together as soon as he returned, and he never mentioned that he had slept with someone else. Belly breaks up with Jeremiah and struggles to come to terms with how he could have done something so hurtful, even though he believed they were no longer together. But her feelings begin to shift after Steven gets into a serious car accident. Jeremiah waits overnight at the hospital while keeping his distance. After Steven wakes up from his coma, Belly and Jelly reconcile. He proposes to her outside the hospital and she says yes. The engagement news will likely come as a shock to everyone — especially Belly's ex and Jeremiah's brother, Conrad, who is studying to become a doctor at Stanford. He had planned to visit Cousins for his mom's dedication but backs out after securing a coveted summer clinical residency alongside his pre-med friend, Agnes. However, the residency doesn't last long: Conrad gets himself fired after refusing to take a break upon hearing about Steven's accident, which leads to him mislabeling blood vials. Spoilers ahead for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, Episode 1. Episode 3 begins with Jeremiah and Belly in post-engagement bliss. He finally gets down on one knee and officially proposes with a tiny ring in his dorm room. Jeremiah tries to keep their engagement a secret until the weekend in Cousins — until he starts shouting it from his dorm window for everyone to hear. Belly breaks the engagement news to Taylor, and her best friend does not take it well. When Belly reminds her that she was the one who encouraged her to forgive Jeremiah after the cheating incident, Taylor clarifies that she meant talk to him, not get married. Still, Taylor reluctantly promises to keep the engagement a secret. As for Taylor, she's still heartbroken over Steven ending their situationship in the previous episode. He's now recovering from the accident at home, secretly squeezing in work sessions despite being on bed rest. Agnes checks in with Conrad after he gets kicked out of the summer program. He's considering applying for another position at Garth Lab, this time working in research rather than with patients. Meanwhile, Belly returns home after finishing her junior year. During the car ride, her dad suspects she might be onto him about hooking up with her mom, but in reality, she's lost in thought about the engagement she's hiding. Conrad doesn't want to go to Cousins for his mom's dedication, but Agnes urges him to face his feelings. When he tells her she doesn't know what it's like, she responds, 'Do you mean I have no idea what it's like to be in unrequited love with someone who's never going to feel the same way back?' — hinting at her romantic feelings for him. She explains that she stuck it out and worked through it, and that's exactly what Conrad needs to do to normalize the situation with Jeremiah and Belly. Taylor visits Belly and apologizes for how she acted earlier at the coffee shop. Belly asks her to be her maid of honor, and she accepts. Taylor even pulls out an old scrapbook they made filled with their dream wedding inspiration. She tells Belly that she's going to need her, because once Laurel finds out, it's going to be a full-fledged apocalypse. Belly meets Jeremiah at the dedication at the women's shelter and tells him her dad won't be able to make it, which is a bummer, since she wanted her whole family there when they shared the news. Conrad took Agnes advice and shows up at the dedication, taking Belly and Jeremiah by surprise. She and Jeremiah decide to hold off on announcing their engagement and keep the day focused on Susannah. But Belly changes her mind. During dinner with their families, Adam and Laurel go around sharing their kids' accomplishments and bright futures. When Adam refers to Jeremiah as a super senior and downplays his future plans, Belly steps in and says that Jeremiah actually does have big plans — and so does she. In fact, they have big plans together. 'We're getting married… in August,' Belly announces. Laurel immediately asks if it's a joke. Adam turns to Jeremiah and demands to know what he's dragged Belly into, while Steven asks if they're being serious right now. Laurel then asks if her daughter is pregnant, and Belly and Jeremiah say no. Laurel tells Belly that if they wanted to take the next step — like moving in together or fostering a cat — that would've made more sense, but marriage is too much. Adam tells Jeremiah he hopes he doesn't think he's getting his mother's ring, and Jeremiah replies that he didn't expect it. Conrad is basically just sitting there in shock, while Laurel abruptly cancels the entire dinner… just as the seafood tower arrives. Belly and Jeremiah get up and walk out of the restaurant together. Jeremiah says they'll come around (they have to, right?). Laurel pulls Belly into the car, and everyone leaves separately. Conrad is the last to leave the restaurant, his face filled with confusion, maybe regret, and definitely shock. They knew their parents' reactions would be intense, but did they expect the announcement of their marriage plans to blow up this badly? That said, their families' concerns aren't unwarranted: they're both young, Belly hasn't explored life outside of the Fisher brothers and Jeremiah still needs to get his life on track. It will also be interesting to see more of Conrad's reaction in the next episode, because this definitely wasn't the definition of 'exposure therapy' Agnes had in mind. The next episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 airs on Wednesday, July 30. Check out the full release schedule below.

Factbox-From Amazon to Walmart, global e-commerce firms face regulatory scrutiny in India
(Reuters) -Foreign companies operating in India's booming e-commerce sector face many regulatory and legal challenges from authorities investigating them for alleged non-compliance with Indian laws, moves largely aimed at protecting local businesses. Below are some of the ongoing regulatory cases, which include global giants Amazon and Walmart: ** Walmart's Indian fashion arm Myntra is being investigated for allegedly breaching rules that ban foreign-funded wholesale retailers from selling directly to consumers, India's federal crime fighting agency revealed on July 23, 2025. ** An Indian antitrust investigation in 2024 found Amazon and Flipkart, violated local competition laws by giving preference to select sellers on their shopping websites.

Amazon warns all 220 million Prime members of scammer attacks
Prime customers are being warned about phishers sending fake Amazon correspondence. In these Prime membership scams, scammers are impersonating Amazon to target users and steal personal information such as social security numbers, bank information or Amazon account details. In 2024, Amazon took down more than 55,000 phishing websites and 12,000 phone numbers that were used as part of impersonation schemes — and they've noticed an uptick. Scammers are impersonating Amazon to target users and steal personal information. tashatuvango – Amazon said in an email earlier this month that there had been an increase in reports about fake emails, and over two-thirds of scams claimed to be related to order or account issues. Reports often included calls, texts or emails from scammers claiming that the user made a purchase that they didn't actually make and asking for account information to 'verify' the order. 'Scammers who attempt to impersonate Amazon put consumers at risk,' Dharmesh Mehta, Amazon's vice president of Selling Partner Services, said in the notice. 'Although these scams take place outside our store, we will continue to invest in protecting consumers and educating the public on how to avoid scams.' Malwarebytes also issued a warning noting that scammers are sending fake emails claiming a user's Amazon Prime subscription will automatically renew at an unexpected price. Amazon said in an email earlier this month that there had been an increase in reports about scams. Gorodenkoff – These emails may include personal information they obtained from other sources to appear legitimate, and they might also include a 'cancel subscription' button that leads to a fake Amazon login page. If a user logs in using the fake page, the scammer will have their details and can use it to login to the actual Amazon site — as well as any other online account that has the same username and password. The fake login page might also ask for payment information and other sensitive information, which would ultimately go to the scammer. Amazon is also hoping to educate consumers on how to avoid scams. To start, Amazon adopted a secure email capability for users using Gmail, Yahoo! and other common email providers. These users will see the Amazon smile logo icon in their inbox. They also noted that it's important to verify purchases on Amazon, trust the app and website, know that they will never ask for payment over the phone or email, be wary of false urgency; they will never ask you to purchase a gift card, and if you're unsure, contact Amazon directly.
